<In 1933 there were about 325 Jews in Marburg. On November 10, 1938, the synagogue was burned down. By May 17, 1939, only 143 Jews remained; ten survived the war, while the rest left or were deported in 1941-42. About 300 Jews lived in Marburg between 1945 and 1948, but by 1959 only 50 remained.>

Let's analyse this:

<In 1933 there were about 325 Jews in Marburg.

By May 17, 1939, only 143 Jews remained.

[[So there was an emigration movement of 182 Jews, or some of them also were in concentration camps, went to bigger towns or were shifted into bigger towns. From the emigrated normally not all succeeded with it's emigration to overseas and a certain percentage was captured in Western Europe, above all in France]].

On November 10, 1938, the synagogue was burned down.

[[This was the SA action]].

ten survived the war, while the rest left or were deported in 1941-42.

[[10 Jews managed to stay in Marburg during the whole war.

A part of the rest (133 Jews) also emigrated, went to bigger towns or were shifted to bigger towns. From the emigrated normally not all succeeded with it's emigration to overseas and a certain percentage was captured in Western Europe, above all in France.

Another part of the rest (133 Jews) was deported and suffered and a part of them died in the camps, above all in tunnel constructioning]].

About 300 Jews lived in Marburg between 1945 and 1948,

[[After Second World War Marburg was almost intact, so it was attractive for Jews to live there and it can be admitted that almost all of these 300 Jews were new Jews]].

but by 1959 only 50 remained.>

[[It can be admitted that a big part of these new Jews after 1945 have emigrated to racist Free Mason Zionist anti-Muslim Herzl governed Israel. So there were perhapf 40 Jews from Marburg who have come back after 1945]].
